It's absolutely crazy how much shit I have accumulated in the past year. Like mind-boggling. Why, oh WHY did I need that stupid mask for Halloween, the yoga mat that I rarely used since my gym already had some there, 10 different blankets/pads for my bed, the art supplies I HAD to have for school, or the countless random pieces of clothing that I deemed necessary for my life to be complete. In the final weeks of my stay here in Korea, I am already trying to get rid of the stuff I used only once and have no real need for on my travels and the winter clothes and coats that were valuable here during the winter months but will thankfully not be needed again. I knew this was not a permanent home and while most of my purchases were not totally frivolous, lesson learned, you can't take it with you.

Life is all about new beginnings, we all make decisions and live with them but we always get the chance to start again fresh. Moving to Korea is the best decision I have ever made, I am finally realizing my dream and am never looking back. I'll learn many important lessons along the way, (ie. how to live simply so that packing is never again this stressful!) and each day start anew, improving myself and my life and hopefully the world.
